My Project

Hello everyone!

I would love to bring back good old fashion board games and toys to my classroom for my students to enjoy during downtime.

In the classroom, I can see the fatigue from students after they stare at their computer screen all day. They crave the joys of building Legos, getting into a friendly competition with a game of Uno, and using their imagination to create beautiful works of architecture when building Magna-Tiles.

Students need a break from the screen. They need to learn team work skills, how to have a healthy competition, and most importantly- have fun!
